Blog number 1 - 15/05/08

9am - Waking up in London to grey drizzle, the kind of rain that looks harmless but after 4 hours soaks through to your smalls, is not welcome. Comfortable in the knowledge that the London to Brighton train takes an hour, I pray for sunshine, pack my brolly, check my line-up - which is thicker than a bible, and don my flip flops in defiance.
